Program details

Overview

The national master's track in lived history trains specialists in historical expertise, mediation and the promotion of history, for careers in living-history professions. Students complete an eight-week internship in M1 and a year of work-study in M2, and they must write a research thesis with a public defence. The first year covers scientific reading in a foreign language, scientific writing, public speaking and English preparation for the TOEFL. In M2, seminars cover themes such as crises, wars and revolutions in the modern and contemporary periods, alongside the research thesis. The programme spans four semesters and 120 ECTS credits, awarded as a national bac+5 master's diploma by the rectoral jury.
